I finally got the Eternia, Snake Mountain and Fright Zone shipped in from my brother in Philly - HUGE BOXES!!! I was thrilled to find out the Christmas labels came right off as the tape had dried out! Score!

I also picked up a nice Battle Cat as well as a Megalazer and Stilt Stalkers on so-so cards. They are on the misfit wall with Thunder Punch caps and an Orko missing his coin trick.

He is the gentleman I bought these from. Never got around to opening them as a kid as he was beginning to be 'too old' for them when his parents bought them for him. He was a real stand-up guy during our negotiations and I was almost sorry to remove the tags!

I actually got the Tri-Klops and Faker and complete Battle Ram from a supposedly sealed set I got on eBay. It must have been reglued because Tri-Klops and the Ram are partially painted! Also, Skeletor's staff was broken off and missing. Luckily, that was an extra.

The Wind Raider and two rider figures came from a collector in Europe.

I hit the big three-oh last month and alongside a Classics Trapjaw I received a MOTU T-shirt (which doesn't fit but I'm not telling my Mum that), a plushie Battle-cat, a clock made from a MOTU annual, vintage Snake- Face (completing the snake men for me) and an original He-Man cake tin from the 80s which my wife used to bake my birthday cake. Tasty and AWESOME.

I traded ten common loose but mint figures for a complete mint tytus + a hundred bucks! :-) i now have to complete megator and the two giant will fight
And i'm getting twistoid moc next week! Houray!!!!

Has anyone ever read anything about the 5th set? Was it only produced in certain countries? Were they prototypes? Do we even have a list of what goes in that 5th set? With the other 4 sets only having one 'large' piece each like BattleCat or Wind Raider, I find it strange that there are THREE large items - Panthor, Talon Fighter and Attak Trak - floating around out there without a set associated to them. Was it maybe some sort of deluxe set? Maybe the figures included were just the same as in the other sets? I know in the merch section, there is also a picture of an Evil Lyn in a riding pose so was she in the set?

Or are these three large items from THREE unknown sets? The mind boggles.

Now back to our regularly scheduled thread, already in progress. I grabbed another Wind Raider set of these MOTU minis MIB a few days ago.
